YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1870.—TRIPLE {t occupied thirty years ago, and what was now wanted was a crusade against the heathen modern cirtlization, Hitherto the clergy. had been vo some extent cxelusive, but now the jai forin of irvegular helpers were to the work, Agatn, there were symptoms of better legislation for the Church, whi in past times appeared to have been to one ‘political party, In Church building there had been many difficulties, and a mau who wanted t) butid a church bad frequently to suffer greater injuries than a man who committed a misdemeanor, e% iy in parishes where the rector might see fit—as was the case in some dis- tricts—to neglect bis duties. Then, again, he thought there were two classes of dissenters who claimed to sympathy of Church men—first, those who were driven away by the policy which prevailed two cen- turies ago; and, secondly, thoae who more recently hac been driven away, like Wesiey, in consequence of the apathy of the Church, ‘These men sould be the friends +of the Chureh instead of its bitter Tees. He denied that the clergy of the present day were hanghty, exciusive ‘or tilberal, but, at the same time, be bebeved thatthe Church generally might become an macitution of larger sympathies, of wider charact:r and more extentcd applica- ‘ton. In many parishes the parochial system had broken down on account of the autocratic power of the clergyman, which put him in the poal- {ion of the Churen at id At Ug = oR nian, if he kept himaelf within certain limits, might set his people ana his bishop ‘at deflance, thus thrusting many of his parishioners inte the ranks of dissent, Already an inroad had a made upon he parochial system by a clause in the Endowed Schools acts of 1869 affecting school chapels, and he thought that ase might profitably be extended to private and pubite chapels. He advocated the formation of diogesan synods, ‘The Duke ef Marlborough tendered the thanks of the meeting to Mr, Salt for his suggestive remarks. What had principally strack him was the past and ihe present condition of the Church. In former tunes there was much political agitation, aud sonow di:seussions arose which tended to shake the ita- tion which they all so much valued. Many Dersons were very much alarmed. at the. pro- Posaig for changes, and ty much vigor in Parliament, Bat ey took those changes asawhvle he thought they must admit that they hag been productive of bencfit, and in this r he might allude to the reappropriation of eccit tical revennes, and generally to the proceedings of the Keelesiastical Commissioners, It had strengtuengd the p.roclual agency and fad done much to call out voluntary aid, by wich aione the spiritual necessi- ties of our vastly mereasing population could be Met, So that he thought they need not be alarmed at the changes which were impending. There was a great vitality In the Church of England; so that While they admitted that it changes had noc been unveneftcial they might hope that future changes Tuiglit not prove so dangerous as some anticipated. There could be no use 12 relying upon anc‘ent pres- tire, and he believed that while they ve'ained ali the essential features of the Church they should eudeavor to grve tot! the greatest possible popuiarit: ong the masses of the people. (Hear, hear,) Its doctrmes aud d)sipline wee of Divine orizin and sanction, and these cow'd not be changed without danger; but sttil the Church was capable of tllimitable expansion. Ile was in favor of encouraging voluntary action. but he felt quite sure that the maintenance of endow- ment would prove the most effective means of stimu- jating voluntary aid. (Hear, hear.) This remark particularly applied to the dioceses of London and Oxford, Where immense sums had been raised to meet existing endowments. Without endowments it would have been impossible to call forth such marked voluntaryeassisiance. But, perhaps, the cutter of Che gre.itest importance at the present time that of education, Hitherto the Church of Eng- and bad led the van in this an work, and now chiuchimen should strive to tain her position in hat respect quite independent of any legislative ion Whatever, There was much other important ' before Parilament at the present time, which, 7 ught, furnished strong evideace that the Church was wiiltag to reform herself. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Dr. F. G. Lee, Vicar of Ali Saints, Lam- beth, complained that uo principle had been pointed out on widch expanstveness inthe Church should be carried out. Que of the earliest things they had to determine was whether there should be an Es- tablished Church at all, and upon this matter he thought recent division Lists in the House of Com- mons iiad a tendency to create very much alar! The reverend gentleman strongly urge’ that all members of the Church should adhere to their three creeds, and that they should resist tooth and nail the political dissenters, The discussion was continued by the Rev. Dr. Biher, Rev. W. J. Buckley, vicar of St. Mary’s, Pad- ington; Mr. J. G. Hubbard, Mr. Dimsdale, Ml. P.. Mr. Prideaux, Q. C., and other geutlemen, an thanks were voted to Mr. Salt, M. P. for his paper, and to the Duke of Marlborough for presiding. The Rey. T. Darling pronounced the benediction, and the proceediugs were brought to a close. Mr. Gladstone’s Defence of the State Church Bishops. In the House of Commons on the 2ist of June—as has been briefly announced by cab‘e tetegram in the HERALD—Mr. S. BEAUMONT brought on his frequently postponed motion for leave to introduce a bill to “relieve the Lords Spiritual (hereafter consecrated) from attendance in Parliament.” Their presence in the House of Lords, he argued, was not advanta- geous to the Churci, for there were many peers who would speak with greater welght and power for the interests of the Chureh if they were attacked. Neither were the spiritual peers useful to the State, for they had always voted against all popular measures. ‘This measure, too, he maintained, was opportune, and, among other proofs of this, he mentioned the Bishops’ Resignation bill, A large body of the clergy, particularly in York- shire, was anxious that the bishops should be relegated to their diocesan and ecclesiastical duties; their political position stood in the way -ot ile inerease of the Episcopate, and he potuted out that any time the Crown could call up an eminent prelate to the House of Lords, Mr, L. Kina seconded the motion and in proof of its Gh eparrane reierred to the abolition of the Irish Bench of Bishops and to the recent attempt of the English bishops to “dig up an obsolete statute’ for the appointment of Suffragan Bishops. He de- ved, too, the consternation with which he had listened in the other House to “debating bishops” — great “actors,’’ as he first called them, but in deference to @ murmur of eI tt he cor- rected it to great “orators.” ‘nat the bishops were of no use to the Church in the House of Lords he enforced by alleging their backwardness in repressing ritualistic excesses, aud that they were useless to the State he showed by citing their anti- Lia gr! votes since the Reform act of 1831. r. GLADSTONE commenced his reply bya good humored reference to this fact as a complete dis- He remarked to say that the gov- As to the form of the motion, he potnted out dease to the Church of Engiand. He ridiculed the idea of the position and influeace of the bishops depending on their possession of the erage, and he urged that to dismiss them from the ouse of Lords would weaken the hold of Parlia- ment and of the exiernal worid upon them. In the course of his speech the Premier said:— Don’t let my honorable friend withhold from bis own view what I take to be an undeniable fact, that however he may geek 1n other respects to -vindicate the operation of this motion, it must be regarded as @ motion which will greatly diminish not the tnfla- ence of the State only, but the influence of the exter- nai world, the influence of society, the influence of opinion, the influence of that which 1g called modern civilization outside of the episcopal sphere over the episcopal body; and my impression is that there 13 no inconstaerabie pordon of this House, a8 well on this as on that side of the House, who would but very reluctantly bring about such a consummation, My honorable friend 1s, of course, entitled to admit or deny, just a3 he pleases, that this is @ motion tor the disestablishment of the Church. If it were @ motion for the disestablishment of the Church, and were avowedly such, I shouid argue against it on that ground. But Y don’t think my honorable friend has presented it to us in that view, because he desires to reserve his judgment on that subject: and if he is desirous to establish a state of things in which we shail have a Church, na- tional by law, but in which the prelates of tuat Chutch are to be removed from the House of Lords, I must say there appears to me to be a great harmony be- tween the arrangements by which they have a place as peers In the Hou:e of Lords and the estabilshment of the Church, and I greatly doubt whether Parita- ment Will serlously and practically entertain the juestion presented to us by my honorable friend un- ul itisonthe very eve of entertaining the much larger question which he does not at present think fitto present to us. (Hear, hear.) But there ts another question of more importance than this with reference to the immediate issue, because I admit that, as respects religious inter- ests, this proposal, tnough an important one, cannot be said vitally to determine those interestsone wayor the other. You may weaken the Church in one way, you may strengtne n tin another, by removing the bishops from tbe House of Lords. A great authority whom we speak of very freely to-night, and who is respected by every one who knows him, though most of us may Giffer much from his opinton—Archdeacon Deuison, one of the stoutest of torles—once published a pamphlet recommending that the bishops shoulds not rave seats in the House ot Lords (a laugh); and if my honorable friend has not read that pamphiet, 1 would advise him to get it, for itis a repertory of arguments that he would find useful on this ques- tion, ‘But weaken the Ohurch or strengthon It as tt may be, no one would suppose that the existence of the Chureb of England as a religtous institution is essentially bound up with that question; while, as @ national institution, I cannot too strongly or too candidly state my conviction tat the influence to be exercised upon the Church, that moral centro! over the Church Which has been ever Lye as an ¢3- sential element of a national establishment, would be ecriously weakened if we adopted his pro| I. But pow, as respecte the State. My honorable friend strongly urges that the State—by that mainly [mean the House of Lords—will be all the better for the re- moval of the bishops fromthat assembly. And cer- tainly the career of the bishops, if I may 60 speak, has been subjected to a criticism so bapa at think, in his good-bumored enthusiasm, my honora- ble friend who seconded the motion aimost advanced Againgt them contradictory charges; because we were told on the one hand that the bishops haa been a subservient body, devoid of a spirit of independence, and on the otier hand that they had been an obstivate, reactionary body, ever arrayed against the privileges of the people. IT am not 5 lg defend, rate in any sweeping ser, the EB; at body, Thave often bad oc: caston tn the measures in which I have taken an in- terest—and 80 have all my friends near me tn the Measures in which they have taken an tnterest—to regret that we were pot so fortunate as to ovtain pal favor as we could Nave wished, and, so far, we may be said to be periorming a disinterested office and function when we reaist the motion of my honorab‘e friend. But this I must say, 1518 a littie hard, with historical facia in our face, to charge the bishops historically with @ want of indepen tence, We have had reference to the aixteenth century, Far be it from me to defend all the bishops of that or any ocher century, but, as my honorable friend sald, they had varied with the opinions of the sov- ereigns. I would ask, Mid not the people vary with the opinions of the sovereigns? What were the pole under Henry VIIL, what were they under iward VI., what under Mary, and whag, ayain, under Elizabeth? Why, a few bishops or a few clergymen were almost the only persons who re. sisted, And what happened at the accession of Elizabeth? Every bishop but one—the Bishop of Liandaff—retired, and even he would not take part in the coronation of the Queen. I think they were extremely wrong, but don’t let us, in our eagerness to support this motion, bring charges agaist the Eplacopal body which are contradictory and not in keeping with the racts of history. (Hear, hear.) Take, again, the time of Charles I. You may lament, and so do I, that the bishops were so much mixed up with the politics of the day. But the wh»le ten- Sout the reformation in the Church of England was to make the bishops political by the close con- nection which it had established between the Bishops and the crown. Well, im Charles’ time did they conform to the ruling powers? When those who made the rebetiton ined the upper hand Archbishop Laud went gallantiy to the scal- fold, and no man ever besaved bester upon it (cheers and iaughter); and every other bishop, with- out exception, took contentedly “the spoing of his ods,” and in that respect, at all events, proved mself entitled to be accounted @ successor of the scone What happe:.ed 10 the reizn of James II., when the bishops made themselves leaders of the People on behalf of liverty andiaw? (Cheers.) Aud ‘What bappened, again. in the reign. of Willam TLL, when a large number of the ops—perfect!y wrong, I grant you, but ina spirit of tudepenience and disinterestedns which cannot be too hight; appreciated, because of the scruple they enteriaine us to the titleof the new sovereigns—azain dis- sorted?

Let us io justice in this matier. 1 bishops of ie Church of England may have had thei fauits, and, no doubt, they have had them; but they have been eminently a body dis- tinguished by indeyendence aud regard fur char- acier, British Feeling Towards Canada—American Interests in the Northwest. {From the London Times, June 23.) Since the act for the es:ablisiment of the Province of Manitoba passed the Canadian Legi-lature tie in- terest in the atfairs of the Ked River, never very strong in this country, has died away. It is con- Cluded that all has been satisfactorily arranged, and that the primitive settlers in the neighborhood or Lake Winn:peg, contented with the coucessions of the Dowiniva, Wil wefully acknowledge its au- thority. We Crust they will do so, and that as a po- Utica: diMcuity the “affair is at an end. But there 18 enough that {8 novel and singular in its incidents w justify us referring to it once more a8 a remarkable episode in colonial history, The firat thing that strikes us is Chat the Dominion is already suffering a penalty of greatness which has oiten fallen to the lot of tho mother country. The Canadians have possessed their quasi-nationality and (ndependence not quite three years, and they have already their separatists and their rebels, socung them of tyranay, threat- ening them with war and forcing them to 2 compro- mise, Canada is already a mother country, and may possibly find the daties of maternity as onerous and ill-requited as they have appeared for a genera- tion past to patient England. The Domimion has taken its first lesson very quietly. It has known low to prefer the useful to the dignilied, and to disregard the tauuts that may be levelled against those who negotiate when they might hght, and who condone when they might punish. Jn this the Canadians have simply folowed the example of thelr own mother country, and, indeed, the course they took was atthe positive recommendation of the home government. Hot-headed politicians would have talked of the national honor and plunged the Do- minion into a petty, but lingering, vexatious and dangerous war. The statesmen of Ottawa, acting under the advice of the home governurent, have ocketed their pride, treated with the delegates of Insurgent leadérs and brought matters to a happy conciusion, Thus itis that the Dominion does not expect to find anenemy onthe banks of the Red River. General or President Riel is still in high position there, as he was for some time the virtual ruler of the territory. He has done si things, the worst being, not the expulsion of the unfortunate genticman who made his appearance ag Governor 8iX months ao, but the execution of an opponent of the de facto government after the mockery of a trial. But the Canadians may console their dignity with the reflection that Riel and his friends rebelled rather against the imperial government than against the Dominton, which really had no iegal right to the allegiance of the Red River at the tine when tt sent its first representative. The transfer had not been completed, the purchase money had not been ud, and, Whatever may be the merits of the con- roveray, the Dominion 8o far techuically in the wrong that It may be excused for pressing its com- plaints no further. Thus a reconciliation has no serious obstacles to encounter. ‘Tne imperial gov- ernment may act as a peacemaker and bring the peruce into happy relations with each other. It will hen, if tt be wise, retire from the flela and leave the affairs of this Western wilderness to those who dwell in wt aud thelr new countrymen of the Cana- dian Provinces. ~ * Then there ts at least the possibility of danger from the American frontier. The Americans themselves are quiet; but the Fenians, however de- jected at the wretched appearance they have mado iu the Eastern States, might summon courage enough to try thelr fortune in the West, An tll-pre- pared force, or one which on the expectation of peace should consent to move any distance without arms and stores, might attract the attention of the evil disposed. ‘Phere are reports of Fenian gather. ings on the shores of Lake Superior and of the presence of armed strangers at the Red River. Ali this may come to nothing; but it shows that no precaution ought to be disregarded, and that the expeditionary force must, during the whole time of its march and also of its occupation, be kept in readiness for hostilities. The American government having partially relaxed the resiriction Which they placed on the passage of the Sault Ste Marie canal, between Lakes Huron and Superior, the expedition will be enabled to surmount one at Teast of its diMculties, Though no _ troops may be carried through the canal, yet much that the force needs may pass, aud thus flour, beef and pork, hay, wagons, timber and stores of sorts now need no tranship- ment. Yet from the canal to Fort William, at the head of Lake Superior, is a distance of 240 miles, and from Fort William to Fort Garry 1s a dificult march of 400 more, Everything, however, looks well for the expedition. ‘he summer 1s at its height, and the proper season for the expedition has not been allowed to sifp by. Tho men are in high spirits, the Canadians espectall; indeed, this little expedition has called forth marital ardor ainong the people of the Dominion to a surprising degree, and shows how dearly a State loves to have @ War ofitsown. In a short time we lope to hear that the force has satcly arrived at its destination, and that no potiis of enemies have been added to the perils of the way, The Canadian Volunteers the Heroes of the New World—No Thanks to Presideat Grant— Where Does the “Brothor” Come int To THE BpiTor OF THR LONDON TIMES:— May I request you to insert the words, as reported by the Montreal Gazette of ,the 11th of June, which my brother, General Lindsay, used to the volunteers at Eccles Hill, on the site where the Fenians were repulsed in Missisquol? These words were inaum- clently reported by the Aulantic cable telegraph, and have been misrepresented by several newspapers, as if they expressed discourtesy to the United States:— You are successful, and your success isdueto your own efforts, No one elaé has heipod you. The regulars were, however, ready to start {0 your assistance at an hour's no- tice, and eld a position most important for defence. ‘They were at St. John’s, which commanded ‘both banks of the Richelieu, and could have repelled any attack on either dank, But you resisted and repelled thie attack yourselves. An- other thing should be noticed. The President of the United States issued a proclamation, very proper and friendly in Kael, but of novacual. wee (0 you,28 you had to repel that attack yourselves. The United’ States have sent troops, which are near at hand; but you had to do tha work yourselves, ‘The English of this Is that the volunteers, to whom the words were addressed, repulsed the attack with- out ald either from Great Britain, as represented by her regulars on one side, or from the United States, ag represented by the States’ troops on the other. Tnia is truth—truth most honorable to the Canadians; and there is nothing, surely, in this to wound tue susceptibilities either of Great Britain or of the United States.

THE LATE DUEL IN ARKANSAS, Card from the Second who Failed to Reach the Field. (From the Memphis Appeal, June 30, Major W. F. Rogers, who was the second of Mr, Brizzolara In the late duel, and whose a scuce from the fleld was noticed by us casually yesterday morn- ing in the following words:—“The word was won at tie toss by Colonel Du Bose, wiio, We have neglected to say, had returned to town, and was requested by Mr. Brizzolara to actin the place of Major Rogers (prevented [rom doing 80 by some cause not ex- piained to the reporters”)—expiains this absence in a card, which we publish with pleisure. We made diligent inquiry from every one likely to know the cause of jor Rogers’ absence on Tuesday evening before publishing our statement, and could find no one, even among those most likely to know, who could give the slightest information, Our “ina- bility,” considering the circumstances, is not to be wondered at. The following is the card of Major Lp uae DITORS APPEAL—In your account of the fight on Tuesday evening between Messrs. G. R. Phelan and James Brizzolara, Pin Teporter sad that he was unable to account for my absence, being the second of Coionel Brizzolara. In view of the inability of the author of said article, and in justice to myseif, I deem it my duty to explain the cause tbat prevented me from being present at the meetiag of the afore- gaid gentiemen, At fifteen minutes before four o'clock I met Colo- nel Coleman and Colonel Brizzolara at Coleman's office, and it was agreed that we should meet at tne ferryboat, which I understood Colo Brizzoiara to gay left the foot of Madison street at four o'clock. On the way to the river, as prearranged, I called for Henry Beatty, on Madison, and Major 0. G, Camron, on Front street, aud in company With those gentlemen repaired as speedily a9 possible to the ferryboat, which had started before wereached the landing, but returned for the pur- pose of taking us on. On getting abuard I was coe surprised at not finding any of my party, ut, a8 We got some distance out in the river, discov- ered the blue tug starting out from the foot of Jeffer- gon street, and concluded that Colonel Coleman aud Colonel Brizzolara were on it. On ranenliie the Ar- kansas side we learned tnat the Shertif of Critten- den county -was in Hopeileid, and that Colonel Phe- lan’s party had abandoned that side and were in small boats in the river. On meeting Capiain Adams I wa’ informed tiat Colonel Brizzolara aud others wero in the blue tug that had a second time started across and was then near the middle of the stream, I immediately procured a boat, and in company with Mr. Beatty and Major Oamron made for and succeeded in reaching the tug, upon which I found Oolonel Coleman Brizzolara and Many others of both parties. I then learned that the tug had been chartered 'o carry the party to some point down the river where the affair could be settied without interference from the civil authorities, I went aft at the request of the officer of the boat, and while my attention was called away by matters passing around me, arrangements wero made by the hostile parties of which I heard nothing. Soon after I saw Colonel Coleman in one skiff and Colonel Brizzolara in auother, and I hailed them from the top of the hon} for the purpose of getting in with the party, but owing to the contusion could not make them hear me. Tho tug now repaired to the foot of Jefferson street, a3 her captain informed me, for the purpose of leaving a crowd of persons on board, after which she woula procee.| to the skitfsjaud the whole party would proceed down the river. On landing the tug the officer in charge made personal attempts to rid the boat of the crowd at different olnts, and finally inforined me that they had aban- joned tie enterprise, and would have no further connection with the affair. I immediately chartered @ skift, and in company with Major Camon, Cap- tain Beatty and Mr. Washington, started down the river, when we learned that Messrs, Phelan and Brizzolara and those with them had taken passage onthe steamer Cheek, which was then turning tie point down the river. We purhed forward as Tapidly as ible, hoping to overtake the pert in time for the alfa, but was bein brea olnted on coming in within 100 yards of the Cheek. We started back up the river and we were not advis:d as to the result until we reached the city, about hali-pasi ten o’clock, I deeply regret that circumstances over which I had no control prevented my be1ig present to act as Colonel Brizzolara’s friend, though 1 made every effort in my power to do so, as Major Camron, Cap- tain Battie and Mr. Washingten will bear witness. In closing this explanation of the causes tliat pre- vented my being on the ground I take pleasure in acknowledging the kindness of Colonel DuBose, who, Iam informed, most eficiently acted as the frlenid of Colonel Brizzolara op au occasion that has covered that gentleman with honor.

Particulars of the Siege~Money Demanded and Received by the Robelse—Frauds on the Froatier—Still Another Revolution + Threatened~The Mexican Press oa the Employment of an American War Vessel. Mexico, June 18, 1870: ‘The rumor which has béew circulated of the attack of some partisans of Vega upon the mint of Culla- can lost its importance, not only from the want of confirmatory news, but from the positive informa- tion received by the government, by telegraph, an- nouncivg an attack upon the port and city of Gua: nias, in the State of Sonora, by a'force of Vega com- manded by one Vizcayro on the’ steamer Forward. Tho movement was & success, as the troops were surprised, the prisoners confined in the etty were set free ana four thousand guns which were deposited in the Custom House were taken out and put on board the steamer. A payment of more than seventy thousand dollars was then forced from the merchants and the authorities of the place, the latter persons were imprisoned, and what ro- mained in the various commercial houses was elther carried off to the steamer or destroyed. The sailing vessels San Pablo and Colima were loaded with the arms aud property and were towed away by the steamer, the chief treasury officer having been kid- mapped and carried away on the latter, The pirati- cal rebels went on board siip at the moment Garcla Morales reached the city with troops, but the latter could not prevent their Jeaving. Morales commu- nicated what had happened to Davalas and he and Lepulveda made known the facts to the United States Consul, who sent the the United States war vessel Mohican in pursuit of the Forward and her tow. The result is mot known yet, but is awaited for with great anxiety, especially as it is said that young Mejla, the son of the Secretary of War, is the person kidnapped. The Washington news has reached here relative to the report of the Congresstonai Committee of In- vestigation as to the frauds committed on the Mex!- can frontier of Texas, and the losses to the United States Treasury from the extensive smuggling which has been going on on that border for several years past. That report ig believed here, not only by the friends but by the enemics of President Juarez, to have been matictously managed and distorted with the base design of blackening a character which has upto this moment possessed a purencss and a brightness which might well be envied by the pub- lic men of the age. Mexican readers in general rather consider the attack as @ national one, and are anxious to know upon what evidence the commiites has based thelr report. During the perlod that President Juarez was on the Rio Grande the Texas side of that river, it 1s deciared, here was occupied and commanded by acortain Confederate General who is now s0- journing in this city, and who, it 13 asserted, declarcs ‘that the report of the commitiee can have no founda- tion in trath, a9 his Romieon. was such onthe Rio Grande f-om 1363 until the end of the repeilion as to have placed him in the kuowiedge of such transac- tions on tue part of President Juarez as wire in tended to be inferred by the report of the committee, had they transpired. It 1s further sald that this officer most positively denies that President Juarez or his subordinates were engaged in any such en- terprises, or that his or thelr conduct on that fron- tier was in the least dishonorable, unless the defence of their hearthstones against a fureigu invader, who embodied the idea of the restoration of the monarchi- cal form of government upon this republicin conti. nent, could be disiorted into an act of shame and dishonor. Intelligent and honoravic Mexicans believe that the committee owe tt .to the people of the United States to set forth upon whose evidence and how attested they have arrived at a conclusion which is evidently in- tended to stab thus fatally an unimpeached public officer, the executive of a nation with whom the United Staces 14 at peace, It can hardly be ex- pected that the friends of President Jaurez will let this accusation pass, and your correspondent awaits their action in the case, of which he will promptly advise you. Another shock of earthquake was felt In this city on the 10th of ‘this month, about six o’clock in the afternoon. It visited Oaxaca and other places the same day. Tue Secretary of the Treasury has published in the official paper of tis morning an extended cirewar of tustructions for the government of the frontier guard, the establishment of which, upon the Rio Grande, was authorized by the Mexican Congress on the last day of its session. It 1s stated tat this guard 18 expected to prevent the commission of wronzs on that portion of which United States ofi- cials ar w complaining. it appears from the telegrams of yesterdey and the day before from Jalisco that another revolution threatens to disturb society in that State, resulting from a charged unlawiul uttempt on the part of the late Governor Gomez Cuervo to Pisce hunself again in the gubernatorial chair, making use of military torce and other illegal measures to accomplish his purpose. General Guadatrama has already pro- nounced against Cuervo, and unless some means are discovered to effect @ compromise We shall see that State immediately in arms, [118 quite possible that such @ compromise may be readily effected when it is remembered that Guadatrama was oue of the San Luis Potosi rebels and that under the persuasive influence (it 1s said of money), at an opportune moment he turned upon those whom he had se- duced into rebellion, with the force of his entire army. Again, at the last moment this morning, we have the rumor from Guerrero that Generals Jimenez and picgo Alvarez have struck Nands against the pre- nt government of that State. If this be true we shail have bloody times in tie south, The Revisia Universal of this moment’s Issue says in regard to the recent affair at Guaymas the follow- ing:—“[t seems impusstble that the government of Mr. Juarez can approve the conduct of the persons who so.icited the aid of a foreign ‘force to operate within the limits of our own territory; for although the Americans have the righi of trausit by the sea of Cortes (Lower California bay), in coniorimity with the treaty of Guadaloupe, the sovereignty of that sea ia absolutely Our own; and althoagh it is also certain that an enemy was being deait with who was capabie of commiting great excesses (Vega), still we do not think that such authority could be given to a foreign ve of war, not under the sovereignty of Mr, Juarez. No excuse can be given for asking aid In liberating the captured or in purau- ing. The persons who cominitted such an impru- dence are ignorant of the fact that in that undefined mass of laws which are calied fnternational laws iaolated cases are sct dowu as precedenis, 10 which, on the first occasion, bad political faith and the interests of nattons look for support in founding rights, ‘There ts also in this lamentable incident a disgrace which makes us blush with shame, To ask aid from those who vonfessedly despise us and who cousider us oi littie consequence Is not only shame- fal, but, we are certain, is highly repugnant to Mexi- cans. ft cannot be forgotten that when a people accustoms itself to look upon another as its pro- tector it is already half-conqucred, and that but little resistauce couid be made to an invasion projected by the mentor who voluntarily brings it abyut, With regard to the forefoing article and a similar one which iately appeared in the Fenix de America It should be suid tiat these newspapers are edited by and are In the interest of the opposition to the government of President Juarez, aud thas either would be pieased to be able to bring about a serious conflict between Mexico and the United States, The Fenix bas an article which is headed *Reiatlous with the United States,” commencing thus:—“We have beautiful relations; with Guatemula we are at war for having: Violated our territory; with Italy and Germany We are in mercantile but not diplo- mate relatiois,” &c, until it reaches the United States, wheu it says: ‘The United States, always se friendly, of course, It is lucredible how they favor ourcommerce and how much they aid usin our mercantile relatious.

Having receutly visited the American Onnbkes in this city, we have noticed with great satisfactiou the improvements tiiat have been and are be made on these grounds. Up to within a year past the spot, which should be ever hallowed to the American heart, has been in a sad and ueglected condition. But when our Minister, Mr. Nel- son, represented the facts to the State Department, General Belknap, the Secretary of War, found, without waiting for a Oon- gressional appropriation, that the ciroumstances of that Capareneny would permit the amount asked for by Minister Nelson to be advanced out of the contiigentiund. Within the few moatis since the Peceioy of suid funds marked changes have been ade. During the intervention the French troops filled up he ditch which surrounded the wesiern and southern borders of these grounds and threw ® ditch further out; they also cut up the walla with ewbrasures for cannon. These changes exposed the rounds to the aggressions of nightly marauders, jpon @ represen. aon of this condition of things to the Mexican government, tt at once reopened the ditch, threw the dirt beyond and restored the boundaries to their former condi- tion, and under the supervision of the Consul, Dr. Sktlton, the walls have Leen repaired and raised toa useful height; the old gates, doors and window: have been replaced Dyno ones; large quantiles of dirt have beon intréduced upon the ground, ti walks and beds having been and are being raised; new shrubbery added and the whole general appear- anee has veen improved. ‘fhe old pedestal which Was erected over the remains of the American sol- diers who perished in this valley in 1847, which was broken and defaced, 18 to be replaced by another, the tablets for which have ‘arrived.

Yesterday morning Warden Brennan, of Bellevue Hospital, informed Coroner Rollins that his presence was very desirable at that institution for the pur- pose of taking the ante-mortem statement of Robert Montgomery, twenty-five years of age, born in this city, a driver by occupation, who was suffering from @ pistol shot wound recetved at the hands of James Egan, Soon afterwards the Coroner,was at the bed- side of the wounded man, who stated that about @ month ago himself and Egan had 4 difficulty cou- cerning @ jump which the latter had on his neck. Montgomery says that while fooling with Egan he became saucy, for wiich he received a siap in the jaw. The uight folloning: they met again, and Mont- gomery says he licked Egan, who thereupon picked upa eb stone and threw it at him, but without effect, as Montgomery dodged his head, and thus escaped, Egan then pulled out a knife and threi ened to ‘cut his guts out,’ for which threat Moat- gomery caught and knocked him down, The parties had no further diiliculty till between f-ur aud five o'clock yesterday morning, when they met in First avenue, near Twenty-fifth strect, Mont- oinery says he was going to lick Egan, who re- reated across the avenue, and he followed him up, when, as alleged, Egan turned and discharged & istol at Nim once and then ran away.
